HOMEMADE MOUNDS CANDY BARS BY: ANNALISE FROM SWEET ANNA’S Make a healthier version of a candy copycat with this Homemade Mounds Candy Bars recipe. To make these scrumptious bars, you'll need honey, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. You'll love this delicate chilled dessert.

Ingredients:       

2 1/2 cups flaked or shredded coconut 1/2 cup melted virgin coconut oil 1/4 cup raw honey (melted if it will be too firm to stir!) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips 1 1/2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil

Directions: 1. In a large bowl, mix together the coconut, coconut oil, honey, vanilla and salt until well mixed. (The mixture may seem very greasy... don't worry about it.

Place in the freezer to set for at least 30 minutes. 3. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Spoon the chocolate evenly over the coconut in each cup, spreading smoothly.

Or serve immediately! 5. These will get soft at room temperature for too long, so keep them cold until you are ready to serve them!

HOMEMADE ANDES MINTS BY: CARA FROM FORK AND BEANS Do you prefer fresh and minty or rich and chocolaty? These Homemade Andes Mints are a rare copycat dessert recipe that offers both. For that classic grocery store flavor, mix together chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and a little green food coloring.

Ingredients    

1/2 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup white chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract few drops of green food coloring

Directions 1. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Cut it so it perfectly fits on the bottom and dab the corners with melted chocolate so it stays in place. Allow to set {just a few minutes} 2. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30 increments, stirring at each stop, repeat until smooth. Drop 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract in and stir. Adjust to taste–add the remainder 1/4 teaspoon if it is not strong enough. 3. Slowly pour half or less as the bottom layer into the pan. You want a thin layer so go slowly. Using the back of a spoon or the shake method, make sure it is evenly spread. Freeze for 2 minutes. Make sure it does not freeze completely! You don’t want 3 separate layers that fall apart but you also don’t want the chocolate layers to blend into it each other. Watch for the color of the top–when it is no longer shiny is a good indicator you’re ready for the next layer. 4. While you are flash freezing the first layer, melt the white chocolate chips in the same way in the microwave. Drop food coloring in, stir until smooth. 5. Pour green chocolate for the thin 2nd layer. Shake until evenly spread. Freeze for 2 minutes or until no longer shiny. 6. Repeat with 3rd chocolate layer. If you need to reheat your chocolate because it is hardening a little, place back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. Freeze 2-5 minutes. 7. Before it sets completely, using a knife, slice the shapes of your mints. I went for the classic rectangular shape. Allow to set until dry, either on the counter or in the freezer {if you are less patient like myself}.

Directions Prepare the nougat: 1. Grease an 8 by 8 pan and then line it with parchment paper, with excess on the sides so that you can pull it out later. 2. Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar to soft peaks while the sugar, corn syrup, and water cook on medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Cook the sugar until it reaches the soft crack stage, 270°F. Pour about a teaspoon of the sugar syrup into the egg whites and beat until incorporated. Add in another teaspoon and beat some more. Continue doing this until all the sugar syrup is incorporated. Add in the chocolate and the cocoa powder, and beat until the bowl is slightly warmer than room temperature, about three minutes. 3. Pour into the pan. Spread the nougat into an even layer. It might be helpful to place a piece of parchment paper on top and press down on it with your hands to do this. Let the nougat sit for ten minutes at room temperature while you prepare the caramel. Prepare the caramel: 1. Cook all the ingredients together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 245°F, about eight minutes. Do not stir. Pour onto the nougat, and let sit for two hours. Cut the bars: 1. Take out the layers by pulling on the parchment paper and then place them on a chopping board, caramel side down. Cut the bars into any size you like. Place the layers in the freezer before cutting if you're having trouble. This will be sticky. Dip the bars: 1. Dip the bars using a fork in the tempered chocolate, and then let the chocolate harden at room temperature. Store the chocolate bars in the fridge, and let them sit at room temperature for twenty minutes before serving.
